We had a total of 16 check ins this week (including the NCS). Signals 
came in strong after the initial check ins, then faded a bit during the 
73 round. Thanks to the relay stations for the assists this evening. 
Very nice hearing from the new check ins. I hope to see all of you 
again. The net concluded at 9:42 PM ET.

We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage 
anyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to try to check in next week.

We decided to find an alternate frequency this evening, so we tried 3803 
kHz. Brian, K1NW, and Neil, AE1P, reported that 3803 kHz was free of the 
noise they had been experiencing on 3806 kHz.  There were a couple of 
reports from further south that there was another QSO going on, but most 
of the net was not hearing them.  We'll keep a close eye on that, and 
try 3803 kHz again next week.

As a reminder, if you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting 
time and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you should see the frequency 
we are using that evening, if we must QSY again due to busy frequencies.

73,
